no, and people who think that are morons

there's so many more people living the world today, so many more talents.
and the media attention (especially the attention a non-art interested person partakes in) is on CONTROVERSIAL works.

tl;dr people don't know what they're talking about

Yes you really do
And I fucking hate you clueless fedoras who say otherwise and pretend you have any insight into modern art whatsoever other than what obscured cherry-picked provoking performance art get spread around on FB to show how "terrible modern art is".
LOL IT'S NOT ART AM I RIGHT??? MODERN ART IS JUST ABSTRACT ART AND ABSTRACT IS JUST SOMETHING 5YOS COULD DO RIGHT?? XDDDDDD

What's the issue, exactly?

There are great contemporary artists, but noone on 4chan knows anything about art, so how would you know? The average 4channer just occasionally reads some Buzzfeed article about some eccentric hipster artist having done some disgusting/perverse art piece which gains media attention - and thus the 4channer believes all contemporary art is like it.
Narrow-minded and ignorant as always. Never change 4chan~~
